Healthcare Cold Storage Market Segmental Outlook

Based on temperature type, the cold storage market is segmented into chilled and frozen. In 2020, the frozen category dominated the market, accounting for more than 78 percent of global revenue. It is used to guarantee that specific medicines are stored securely inside a narrow temperature range, as specified by the manufacturer; this is usually within +2 and +8 degrees Celsius, with +5 degrees Celsius being optimum.

Based on storage technique, the cold storage market is segmented into dry ice, electrical refrigeration, gel packs, liquid nitrogen and others. The electric refrigeration is expected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period, due to rising consumer awareness.

To ensure that temperature-sensitive commodities are stored and transported in the best possible circumstances, hundreds of warehouses with cold chain systems are being built.

Based on end-user, the cold storage market is segmented into academic & research institutes and pharmaceuticals & biotechnology companies. After acquiring temperature-controlled products from suppliers, end-users such as hotels may have cold storage facilities.

Furthermore, cold storage is assigned to a third-party logistics provider (3PL), where products are kept until ready to be sent to end-users.


Based on regions, the healthcare cold storage market is fragmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America is expected to witness substantial CAGR of during the forecast. The region's growth is being fueled by the spread of connected devices as well as the presence of a big customer base.

Cold storage product manufacturers and packagers frequently have their own cold storage facility. This safeguards the products until they are delivered to distributors and final customers. Many end users have their own cold storage facilities at the other end of the supply chain. This keeps the items safe until they're needed.

Recent developments & impact analysis for healthcare cold storage market

  • With temperature control measures, cold storage and refrigerated warehouses are an essential part of supply chains, and they're just growing wider – literally – with cold storage area growing at a rate of around 4% per year since 2013.
  • Chilled Warehouse Automation/Robotics: In cold storage facilities, especially those that handle online purchases, turnover speed is critical.
  • Automated/robotic technologies, Automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS) are rapidly becoming commonplace in them in order to optimize it.
  • Temperature Control in Bigger Storehouses: Many industrial cold storage facilities are being developed in expensive, metropolitan regions to offset high operating costs and the requirement for speedy delivery, leading enterprises to “go vertical” with their workplace. As a result of this tendency, fall prevention equipment has become a primary safety issue.
  • Efficiencies in Energy Efficiency across the Cold Supply Chain: In today's cold storage business, energy efficiency and cold chain integrity are also important issues. The drive-through dock design is the gold standard for achieving both at the loading dock.
  • Keeping up with the Demands of the Market: Managers of cold storage facilities who grasp the fundamental developments in cold storage warehouse operations – and the new equipment solutions to the difficulties they present – can ensure that their facilities stay up with the market's ever-increasing needs.

Future Opportunities for Healthcare Cold Storage Market

  • In current scenario, transport the vaccines of Covid-19 is big task for many countries around the world. That creates huge amount of opportunities for cold storage vendors. Vaccines are frequently transported by truck and airline, with stops and storage at distributors along the way until arriving at the terminal, when they are placed back into cold storage.
  • The slowdown in the cold storage industry initially hit the sector, producing congestion in several warehouses. However, during the early months of the pandemic, a strong increase in retail demand aided their success, and the effect is expected to persist longer.
  • In the United States, cold storage warehouses are now holding a bigger volume of merchandise than usual. Volumes in US freezers and coolers in April 2020 are 2.5 percent and 10.3 percent, respectively, apart from seasonal products such as pharmaceutical products and vaccines.
  • Many elements in the pharmaceutical supply chain are expected to alter as a result of the pandemic. Here, we identify possible investment opportunities for cold storage operators in the United States.
  • Inventory levels could be increasing: Prior to 2008, according to the US Census, overall inventory levels were rationalizing as businesses sought to save expenses and optimize inventory levels. As a result of the financial crisis in 2008/09, there was a temporarily steep increase in the inventory-to-sales ratio. Similarly, because we expect to enter a depression in the second half of 2020, we anticipate a brief increase in this ratio due to reduced consumption and inventory accumulation. It is crucial to emphasize, however, that the decline in vaccine consumption will not be considerable until the later stages of the recession. This pandemic may force businesses to shift their inventory strategies from "just in time" to "just in case," resulting in higher inventory levels and, as a result, greater demand for cold storage market.
